We thought the pumpkin pie martini, with its fall theme would be a big hit, and it was. But we weren't expecting so many people to drink an old fashioned!

One of the things I loved about Stewart Manor Country Club was the cocktail hour room. There is a very pretty foyer, which opens right onto the cocktail hour room - it kind of makes you feel like you are in someone's house!

And then there was AJ's favorite thing - the bar was set up like an actual bar. It was in its own room that was open onto the cocktail hour room and the reception room (although that door remained shut during cocktail hour!) and surrounded by tall tables with pub stools.

I think cocktail hour is my favorite part of most weddings that I've been to. Cocktail hour always has the best food, and its such a fun time to catch up with everyone. I can't wait for the next wedding AJ and I are attending so I can actually go to the whole cocktail hour - and eat!

That's my favorite part of a wedding too. I'm glad you got a few treats and got to spend a little time in the cocktail hour with everyone. It sounds like it was held in a gorgeous room!! That's so cool about your His and Hers signature cocktails. I've never even had an Old Fashioned! I could go for a pumpkin martini right now!

How fun!! I love the chalkboard too, highlighting each of your favorite drinks :) so many personal details in your wedding, I love that!! My favorite part of a wedding has to be when the bride walks down the aisle :)

Sounds like the cocktail hour was a big hit. It is crazy how much time the bride and groom to be plan to have just the right food and then they rarely end up getting to sample any of it themselves! Have a great weekend!
